Your body has states, has land, have you heard?
To some this may sound, well, quite absurd.

Feed Compassion, Starve Blame

Feed Love, Starve Shame

Feed Smiles, Starve sneers

But whatever you do, don’t feed the Fears!

Feed the Truth, Starve the Lies

Feed Awareness, Starve Denial

Feed Sweet Serenity, Starve Bitter Shouts

Grown-ups like numbers. When you tell them about a new friend, they never ask questions about what really matters. They never ask: “What does his voice sound like?” “What games does he like best?” “Does he collect butterflies?” They ask: “How old is he?” “How many brothers does he have?” “How much does he weigh?” “How much does his father make?” Only then do they think they know him. If you tell grown-ups, “I saw a beautiful red brick house, with geraniums at the windows and doves on the roof…” They won’t be able to imagine such a house. You have to tell them “I saw a house worth a hundred thousand francs.” Then they exclaim, “What a pretty house!”…That’s the way they are. You must not hold it against them. Children should be very understanding of grown-ups.
